100% Changed, used to be a good job not anymore. - TM III Reynolds American Employee Review

Everything is different with BAT, EVERYTHING. If this is a job you are considering here’s a typical day/week/month. Leave at 7-7:30am, make 8-12 stores per day. Every store visit is the same: try to make space in a crowded gas station for 20 new products that will ship within a month. You don’t have the supplies you need to make these products look good, you have to be really creative and ‘make’ things work as you can which takes a lot of time, but remember you have to have 8-12 calls per day or you lose 30% of your bonus. You walk into these stores sweating thinking about how you can make this work with the materials you have, and try and talk to the manager about the new products they will get. Next, you need to talk that manager off the ledge for 10 minutes and try to convince them not to hate you, because the 20 new things coming in aren’t decided by you. Once that’s all set you need to pretty much touch and move everything on the backbar to make your space. No problem, except we are in a pandemic! Plan on spending as long as it takes in that store while Suzy $10/hour removes her mask every time she’s not cashing someone out. Now, do that 8-12 times through your day, drive home between 4:30-5:00. Eat your lunch while you drive to your next store or grab chicken fingers at GetGo. Rinse and repeat over 5 day work week. Feeling overwhelmed? Well if you want to use all that vacation you have you still have to fit in all your calls. You have to have 97% or above of your stores visited or you lose 30% of your bonus. Take that vacation day, just be ready to make 13 calls a day all next week when your back to make up for it. There is no time for any type of administrative work thought out the day so when you get home to your family be ready to spend 1-1.5 hours on your computer to keep up with all emails, town halls, and video trainings you need to watch.
